Take It To the Lord in Prayer

---

From the publisher’s page:

This rousing gospel presentation is built around the hymn, 'What A Friend We Have in Jesus,' and will have your choir singing from their hearts. A touch of the old gospel song, 'Just a Little Talk with Jesus,' brings a sweet moment of nostalgia to this dynamic anthem.

Not much else to say here. This is a quite enjoyable piece to sing, and qute appropriate for the final week of a sermon series and all-church study about prayer.

Behind the Scenes

Not much to say here either. I would have preferred not to have lost my balance and landed back in my seat at the intro. No harm done, but I think I need to have a talk with somebody about what brought that on.
